Situated on the slopes of Mount Canobolas, Orange wine region comes under Central Ranges zone of New South Wales. Being relatively new to Australian wine industry, Orange emerged as a wine growing region in the 1980s. With vines growing up to 1100 metres above sea level, the region's cool climate and basalt-based rich volcanic soils help in producing rich and exotic grape varieties. The abundant rainfall in the growing season and bright sunny days in summer set the weather conditions for producing premium Orange wines.

Most of the Orange wines are elegant, aromatic, and have intense fruity characters. Orange Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc wines are quite exceptional in terms of their quality. Over the years, wineries across the region have also shown interest in Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Pinot Noir grape varieties. Barbera, Riesling, Sangiovese, Gewurztraminer, Viognier and Zinfandel are some of the other popular grape varieties currently grown in the Orange wine region.
